Listserve members,

I was wondering if anyone had experience with weight gain issues and
pregnancy.  I am fairly certain my celiac disease onset came as a result of
my pregnancy.  I had an unusual pregancy having gained less than 15 pounds.
Since I have had a weight problem my whole before this, I had been prepared
for the worst!  My birth was complicated.  I ended up with a c-section (I
don't really think my body was strong enough to push my baby out.  He ended
up in intensive care with meconium aspiration).

I am worried about a cousin who I think has Celiac symptoms but refuses to
get tested.  Her pregnancies are remarkably similiar.  Limited weight gain (9
pounds now for this third child).  She has had c-sections for both her
children and will have one for this third.  Of course she has other symptoms
(anemia, thryoid problems, and has been diagnosed with irritable bowel
syndrome).

I just wondered if anyone has heard about this lack of weight gain issue with
undiagnosed celiacs?  Any information would be most helpful.
